    I’m a woman. My most frequently practiced hobbies are watching my fiancé cook, playing with my cat, dicking around on the internet, and playing word games. Because hobbies are to relax and I’m working and getting a Masters. When I had more time, I also danced a bunch and played Pokémon go.

    The things the women in your life are doing, are providing services for the people around them, through food, knitted goods, and photo albums. Women also want a break, but we don’t get one if no one in our lives gives us one.

    Six years ago, my terrible ex would have said that I loved reading organizational blogs and baking, but that’s because he was a slob whose family had weekly parties that I was expected to bake for. Maybe all the women in your life are stepford bots, but maybe you should try learning to knit or cook with some of them, and see if they branch out or just need some help.

    Edit: grammar

      TL:DR for the folks at home:

      “The things the women in your life are doing, is providing service for the people around them….”

      “Women also want a break, but we don’t get one if no one in our lives gives us one. [note: or if we take it, with all the risks that may or may not entail.]

      No, it’s not just women; yes, it often is women due to social factors.

        I completely overlooked the mistake until now, it should be: “are providing services for the people around them…”

          I got what you mean, I was just agreeing with you, I don’t correct anyone until at least 2 hours after getting out of bed anyway.
